Will oral appliance therapy prevent snoring?

Video Overview

Will oral appliance therapy prevent snoring? The answer is yes. There are two main devices we use in dentistry to do that. The first one is the tongue retention device. The second is a mandibular repositioning device. The first appliance helps retract or pull the tongue forward and the second appliance actually moves the mandible forward to help open the airway to help diminish the vibration of the back of the throat which is caused by partial obstruction, which causes the noises of snoring.
